Short answer: you can't. Cappuccinos require espresso and a steam wand, which, in turn, require an $80+ grinder and a (bare minimum) $100 machine.
Long answer: You kind of can. But not really. But sort of.
If you get one of these, you can make a rich, concentrated coffee that resembles espresso for a fraction of the cost. If you have a french press, you can 'foam' milk in that, although with much poorer results than a true steam wand. I've also heard of people putting hot milk in a small container and shaking the hell out of it, but I can't vouch for the effectiveness of this. You could also try a milk foamer, but I doubt you'll be able to get a stiff enough foam to make a capp.
The bottom line is, you can make a thick coffee with foam on top with a sub-$40 budget, but it won't be a cappuccino, and it won't be nearly as good as one. Your best bet is to find a good coffee shop near to where you live, and get cappuccinos there. Hope that helped!
Love my moka pot. While it's on the stove, I warm (but don't boil!) whole milk next to it, froth it, and fill a warm mug (espresso first, then milk, then froth held back by a spoon). Sheer heaven, and faster than using a coffee machine. Grinding your own beans definitely improves the flavor.

The frother may not be super necessary, but it's niice. So you fill the bottom part of the pot up to the valve with water, fill the filter with a bunch of that illy coffee, put it on the stove on low-medium heat until it bubbles that espresso up into the top part. Microwave half a mug of milk to get it nice and warm, froth that shit, and then pour the espresso into the milk, and you've got yourself a basic latte. Add some chocolate syrup to make it a mocha latte. YUM.
I traded my cheap 4-cup drip pot for a Moka six months ago and love it. Someday, I want to buy a real espresso machine and learn to pull an espresso properly, but for now, on my starving college student budget, the Moka + an Aerolatte milk frother does the trick quite nicely.
